Schedule::At - OS independent interface to the Unix 'at' command

Sometimes when you write a perl script you have to call an external command. That's ok if it's a private script or if you know for sure it will run on a single architecture.

But if want to distribute the script or you work on a multi-architecture environment you can't simply call to the external command and expect it will work just fine. That only happens in the movies.

This module privides an OS independent interface to the Unix 'at' command and it will map the calls to real (and OS dependent) commands. It has been configured and tested for:

                Solaris 2.9
                HPUX 11.00
                Digital Unix 5.1
                Digital Unix 4.0
                Linux (RedHat 7.3)

Not tested but it should work on:

                HPUX 10.20
                SunOs 4.1.4
                AIX
                Dynix/ptx
                FreeBSD
                OpenBSD
                Solaris 2.10
                Linux
                NetBSD
                DragonFly BSD

You can configure a new OS very easily (read the end of the At.pm module), and the mechanism used could be used for configuring and adapting other OS dependent commands. Please, feel free to send e-mail to "jose AT rodriguez.jp" to discuss this matter, configure Schedule::At for more Operating Systems or report bugs.
